Dalton Risner: "Would LOVE to be a Bengal"

brink of retirement. Risner would be an upgrade over Volson I have no doubt. We can draft a future Guard to learn behind him and Patrick.

Cannot rely on rookies, not many of them are like Amarius Mims that can come in right away and not look bad.

 I don't know that Scherff is on the brink of retirement, he's played every game the past 3 years and committed a total of two (2) holding penalties. Now, I do think he might be at a point where he just wants to skip OTAs and first part of camp and just show up and play the season.  He's a more complete player, I would plug him in at RG and forget about it for the year. Mims likely would benefit greatly having a guy like Scherff playing next to him.

On Risner, I do like him as well, he also has a very low penalty rate. The issue with him is the durability, he's never hit 1,000 snaps in a season (but close a couple of times). I just think that it's great that he's putting it right out there that he'd love to be part of the team.

When the draft comes to pass, if the Bengals are looking to add a lower cost vet, there should still be a couple to choose from.
